THANK YOU

This means our volunteer registration is closed for this year, but there are still ways to participate in Memorial Day celebrations. The Fort Snelling National Cemetery is open to the public and welcomes visitors from sun up to sun down, so everyone is always welcome to come pay their respects. In addition, the Fort Snelling National Cemetery Memorial Day Program is a moving ceremonial tradition organized by Fort Snelling.

FLAG COLLECTION

Time to be Determined

Fort Snelling National Cemetery

Flags for Fort Snelling invites you to join us for the recovery of our American flags for future Memorial Days to come. In keeping with cemetery care regulations, volunteers will be returning to Fort Snelling to collect, clean, and carefully store salvageable American flags.

Care should always be exercised when handling the American flag, protecting it from getting soiled or damaged. If a flag has touched the ground, it will need to be inspected for display standards and assigned for either storage or destruction.

The flag collection is an important part of the Flags for Fort Snelling mission in making the Minnesota Remembers Memorial Weekend an honored tradition for generations to come.
